Size Information

Boron IIx two-handed rods, made with our second-generation boron/graphite composite, are the lightest spey rods in the world and offer extraordinary power, responsiveness and accuracy. Boron IIx two-handed rods were created with the help of our technical advisor Andre Scholz, one of the world's top spey casters. All rods come with a copy of our educational DVD, "Introduction to Spey Casting with Andre Scholz."

fly rod reviews

12'6" - 6/7-weight

"I have always been a little skeptical of the switch-rod market as I believe anglers should learn the fundamentals of spey casting before they are handed something too easy to cast. Herein lies the beauty of the new 12'6" 6-wt. BIIx. It allows me to teach most of the common spey casts, Double Spey, Snap T, Single Spey, and the Poke, accentuating the feel and skills so they can be transferred to a longer, more traditional rod down the road. The rod is so supple and sensitive, most can feel everything they need to very quickly and without tiring. Then I open the floodgates and show them more dynamic casting strokes with slightly heavier grain heads and hold my breath. Most common first words are Holy S--t!! And they are usually that way because they either can't believe how easy this is or because they are really pissed they bought the rod they did.

"For me personally, I recognize the ability this rod has to be a considerable workhorse, but why do it, that is what the larger rods are for. It is simply a pleasure to cast waking or wet summer flies with a Scandi head. Close your eyes and just feel the rod make each cast with effortless perfection. With the risk of sounding sappy, I'll say it is quite euphoric!"
